AARON Carter broke down in tears as he revealed his ongoing battle with an eating disorder.

The singer, who was arrested for driving under the influence and possession of marijuana at the weekend, refuted claims from trolls that he’s addicted to crystal meth and insisted he has struggled with his weight his whole life.

Aaron released a statement through his rep, saying: “If my own blood truly cared about my well-being, why wouldn’t he call me directly and have a conversation instead of making this about him through a very public forum?”

He continued: “That’s not cool at all to use me for his PR and kick me while I am down. I love my family despite it through thick and thin.”

His statement was followed by a Twitter rant where Aaron appeared to be wearing nothing but a towel.

“Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one’s definition of your life; define yourself,” he wrote. “Walk away from gossip and verbal defamation. Speak only the good you know of other people and encourage others to do the same.”

He then added, then quickly deleted: “To be honest I don’t owe people explanations, although I must say, your words are powerful, the accusations of me being on heavy drugs hurts.”

He ended his late night musings with a story about Michael Jackson sending him a handwritten note, saying: “Looking back at my life, these words hold so much more weight today than they ever have. Thank you for all of your gifts and most importantly the gift of music and love. I miss you immensely MJ.”
